I used Minwax Gunstock with one light top stain of Sedona Red just for a hint of red. I sprayed a coat of shellac last weekend but it might have been too cold - the shellac didn't set up smooth at all. After sanding it down, I may just use Minwax Satin Poly, which has worked very well for me in the past.

NYPD13 - did you apply any final finish like shellac, poly, etc, or is that just the tung oil?
